Healing from trauma isn’t about “getting over it” as fast as possible.
Many therapists use a three-stage model: first focusing on safety and stabilization, then slowly processing what happened, and finally weaving your story into a life that feels more like yours again.
You’re not behind if you’re still working on feeling safe.
You’re not failing if you move back and forth between stages.
That’s part of how real nervous systems heal.
If this way of looking at things resonates with you, support is available.
If you’re in BC, you can search for trauma-informed counsellors at counsellingbc.com and move at a pace that honours your story. 🌿
